They had the press launch today and after months of me searching for this info...it's finally arrived!
You can read the full press pack here, but to summarise:
Here's the scheduling details, which you can see along with each sports' coverage team in full here: Quote:

Delighted they're providing wall-to-wall coverage again it's a shame the 24 streams won't be on Freeview and Sky again but there will be up to 8 of them on the red button which is something!
I'm sad Clare isn't fronting the swimming again but Helen Skelton's doing a good enough job so it isn't too bad. Anyway, can't wait now! |

Sort of figured that the 24 channels showing pretty much everything at one time wouldn't be returning, it was obviously done to make London seem massive.
But 8 will do I guess, plus the websites usually put up live streams of events going on anyway |

Yeah the 24 streams still exist online and on the app which is great, just not on TV

No Jonathan Edwards for Athletics coverage He's far better than Gabby at being the main host, Gabby doesn't seem to know what's going on most of the time. Neither does Denise but I'm here for here and Colin's messy convos and airtime they always end up getting

I was very surprised to see Jonathan Edwards' name not on the list too, perhaps he's working exclusively with C4 for the Paralympics? Perched for Colin and Denise's screaming at the races <3
It's a shame Jake Humphrey and Gary Lineker have BT Sport commitments because I'd like to have seen them heading up some of the BBC1 coverage like they did last time. |

Not too fussed about Jonathan (something I'm often saying @Firewire), as long as Michael Johnson, Clare Balding and Hazel Irvine are there it's all good

Well I have to say they've done another stellar job covering an Olympics the anchors have been brilliant, sets amazing, montages incredible, the list goes on
The only complaint I have was the incessant channel changing, I get they were trying to sustain EastEnders but Christ couldn't it (and Countryfile) have just been moved to BBC2 like it was for London? I can only dread to think what it's going to be like with a reduction in free to air coverage for Tokyo when they're sharing it with Discovery Last edited by Jack_; 21-08-2016 at 10:02 PM. |

EastEnders died when it moved to BBC2 for London so I can see why they didn't want to do that again
But yeah the coverage has been fantastic |
